On the eve of another training camp of the women’s team, the official site of the Russian Biathlon Union publishes an interview with one of the most mysterious souls of the national team – Anna Bulygina. This season Anna trains under the watchful gaze of head coach Wolfgang Pichler. In her interview to Biathlonrus.com Anna is overcautious and asks not to anticipate the plans for comeback to the biathlon elite, but stresses that she is motivated for “puffing” at training sessions.

Anna Bulygina’s comeback to the Russian team for the IBU cups became the great news not only for herself but also for many fans of Anna, who waited for so long for Anna to come back to the international arena.
